You can either click on Media Library button (in advance enabling it from General Options section of the Options menu) and select images to be imported into the Photo Gallery File Manager or click on Upload files and upload the desired images from another location. After uploading images you should mark them and press Add button.

Instead of uploading images you can embed images/videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, Flickr (only images) and Dailymotion.
The following buttons do not work with the Embedded images- Crop, Resize and Reset. In addition you cannot add Watermark over the Embedded imaged.
Here are the standards for adding embedded videos/images:Images
Instagram: http://instagram.com/p/ykvv0puS4u, if you want to add the image together with the post, you can add _post at the end of the URL.
Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/sui-fong/15250186998/in/gallery-flickr-72157648726328108/Videos
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa4RLje-yM8
Vimeos: http://vimeo.com/8110647
Dailymotion: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xexaq0_frank-sinatra-strangers-in-the-nigh_music

Bulk Embed. This option will allow adding more than one images from specific social media (currently only Instagram account, but more options will be added with the upcoming updates) into the standard gallery. You should keep in mind that the images will be added without the possibility of auto-update.Instagram user. Set the name of the Instagram user without additional symbols, e.g. jaredleto.Number of recent instagram posts to add to gallery. Specify the number of images you want to add from the stated Instagram account.Instagram embed type. Choose to use only the image content of the Instagram post or the entire post.

The problem might be due to the large number of pictures in the main directory of Photo Gallery image uploader. If you already have heavy amount of uploaded images, please try to group them in separate folders.

Take a note, that importing images with WordPress default Media Library can get into a conflict. You can try to disable that option and enable it only when you need to import images to Photo Gallery from there
